Pill or sow bugs?

[Onidara]

Which ones are better to clean up enclosures? I got 50 pill bugs and spear them out between my three different enclosures but I've noticed when I put them with the red foots they hunted them down. I was thinking of going with sow bugs because they taste bad so maybe the torts will leave them alone. What do you guys think?

I thought that those were interchangeable names for the same bug.

No pill roll into a ball. Sow can't do that so they just taste bad as their defense

I always called them rolly pollys, grow up in SF....

I have caused them to roll up but I have never tasted one

Ummm. How do you know they taste bad?

Is this a common practice? Where do you buy them? I want to try this.

If you can't find any, Carolina Pet Supply sells them.

Ok, thanks. I used to find them as a kid in Indiana but I have never seen them here in Florida.
